AcMapIEInputLayer::SetUseForBlockAttributes Method

Sets whether block attribute values are brought in from incoming attribute data.

virtual AcMapIE::ErrCode SetUseForBlockAttributes(
    bool bGetAttributeFromField
) = 0;

Returns AcMapIE::ErrCode kErr_OK if successful. Returns AcMapIE::ErrCode kErr_Invalid if bGetAttributeFromField is true and the drawing has no blocks. Returns AcMapIE::ErrCode kErr_Fail if the process failed for some other reason.

In the AutoCAD Map user interface, this setting corresponds to the Get Attribute Values From Fields check box in the Point Mapping dialog box. Attributes are brought in when the incoming field name matches the attribute name.
